292882 - Parsing error on element attribute values

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 154120

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

Description

[spexius]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

<a href=  "  a">  is shown in the "View->Page Source"-window as <a href="   
a">. I don't know if the parser is doing this wrong already or if it is just the
Page Source viewer which does the malforming of the attribure values. Checked on
older and newer Firefox versions on Linux and different Windows platforms and
seems to "work" on all of them (don't have a Mac to test it there, too).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See details / page at the given URL (use wget or netcat to get the real source code)


Actual Results:  
See details.

Expected Results:  
<a href=  "  a"> to refer to the example mentioned in the details :-)
(or at least <a href="  a">)

No crash, no stacktrace etc.pp.

We actually do parse the attributes correctly, however, the quote was getting
inserted in the wrong place. This has already been fixed on the trunk, and will
be fixed for Firefox 1.1.
